Whey or milk plasma is the liquid that remains after milk had been curled and strained. It is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein.
Whey is used to produce ricotta and brown cheeses and many other products for human consumption. It is also an additive in many processed foods, including breads, crackers and commercial pastry, also in animal feed.

Whey proteins primarily consist of α-lactalbumin, which is a human gene, and β-lactoglobulin. Depending on the method of manufacture, whey may also contain glycomacropeptides (GMP).
Health Fatcs:
Liquid whey contains lactose, vitamins, and minerals along with traces of fat. The researchers at Lund University in Sweden discovered that whey appears to stimulate insulin release. They also discovered that whey supplements can help regulate and reduce spikes in blood sugar levels among people with type 2 diabetes by increasing insulin secretion. However, like all products that result from the manufacture of cheese, whey can be a migraine trigger and can cause excruciating headaches among those subject to this condition.
